This really started two weeks ago,I have a 6 year old daughter who NEVER sleeps through the night.On the night in question the usual has happened,she has woken early hours of the morning and come into our bedroom,my wife has taken her back to her room and got into bed with her,anyway at 4ish I am awoken by my wife saying she can hear noises and thinks there is a mouse in her bedroom.We have seen no signs of mice at all.I get out of bed as you can imagine semi awake and starkers and go and listen,nothing,20 mins later still nothing,so I call her daft and tell her not to drink Pernod anymore
.We tell friends about this and have a laugh about it and her
.Fast forward to this morning,I am awoken at 4.30am by rustling sounds.looks to my right and I am in bed alone,listens some more and can hear scratching now
so once again I am up,now I know this isn't pleasant but try to imagine this,me 42 years old as naked as the day I was born on a mouse hunt
I opened the dressing room door flicked the switch,nothing there but can still here the noise,we then have a laundry room,so I opens the door flicks the switch,can't see anything but the noise is defo coming from this room,I shut the door behind me and take a few tentative steps in.It's coming from behind the dryer,I pull the dryer out and and there it is a monster of a mouse(all of 2"long)stood stock still,now I have a problem If I move I think it will do a runner,so I pick a brush up then all hell breaks loose,I'm trying to whack it its running round the room at 500mph,theres laundry baskets going everywhere the ironing board has become a missile,anyway after 45mins of this I think ######## I'll shoot it,some stairs lead out of the room to my office in the attic where I keep my guns,first thing I find is my pro sport.Now be honest who knows their 4yd aim point,not me for sure,back down stairs and its gone but I know its still in the room so I am now stood on the dryer and the 3rd step legs akimbo,still naked(sorry for that image)moving stuff to flush the little bstard out(imagine the old woman off Tom and Jerry and your pretty much there)anyway hes out and stops bang miss and hes off again.Back up stairs for another pellet,this time I think I'll take a shot from the top of the stairs so I sit waiting,cold because this has been going on for an hour now,suddenly he's there so I take some kind of aim bang,sadly the dryer suffered a flesh wound reloads aims higher,bang #### I've clipped the dryer again,at this point I am thinking exactly how much damage would my shottie do here,anyway loads again aims higher still and YESSSSSSSSS mouse is no more.So my first kill was 5.30ish this morning,oh and did anyone in the house wake up whilst this was going on did they hell.
Sorry but I thought some of you may enjoy this,especially the ones that know me
